Any mobile apps with interesting multi-touch UX?


Android's and iPhones have had muti-touch support for years now.

My cheap Android can support 10 fingers simultaneously!

I haven't seen any apps deviate from the 2 finger pinch, zoom, pan...

So where are all the multi-touch applications?

Chwazi finger chooser [1] is a fun use of multi touch. A group of people place a finger on the phone screen and the app highlights one finger. I use this to pick the starting player for bord games.

This was on an iPad, but it might still be relevant:

It surprised me (in a good way) when I realized I could drag an object from one app, and then use another finger to switch to a different app, navigate to where I wanted it and only then drop my dragged item.
